In 1996 Merran moved back to the Netherlands, where she was based for 10 years teaching privately, at the music conservatorium in Utrecht, at the Dutch String Quartet Academy, working with women in pregnancy and childbirth and assisting Arie Jan Hoorweg on his teacher training course (ATON).
In 2006 she moved to Buenos Aires to open a teacher training course (ETABA).
In 2018 she moved to Rio de Janeiro where she now resides and where, together with Roberto Reveilleau, she has opened a new teacher training school (EsTAR).
Merran has had a long standing interest in the teachings of J Krishnamurti. In recent years she has also been learning 'Non Violent Comunication'. Another of her passions is walking in wilderness.
